Why is NSUT/NSIT Delhi the best engineering college in India?
Indeed NSIT Delhi was the best engineering college in India but ever since it changed to NSUT, it has lost its charm and can no more be called the best engineering college.
- NSIT had a very limited intake whereas NSUT has a huge intake thereby diluting the available resources and opportunities.
- NSIT had an attendance criteria of only 50% but NSUT's attendance criteria is 75%.
- NSIT awards credits for fun subjects like Yoga, music, etc. but NSUT has no such rule.
- The intake take has increased but the infrastructure is the same. This has resulted in an overcrowded campus and unavailability of resources.
- NSIT Delhi students were awarded a DU degree that enjoyed global recognition. It was easier to get placed or pursue higher education abroad. NSUT Degree does not hold much value as its new and unknown to many.
However, NSUT has its own pros that people haven't been able to recognize as of yet. The infrastructure and hostel facilities have been improved and the TnP cell works harder than usual to ensure every student is placed. The college has not become autonomous so the administration is operated better. The introduction of new and diverse courses has started attracting a more diverse crowd thereby enhancing the overall learning experience.
All these combined have made both NSIT and NSUT a decent engineering college!
Which one should I choose: NSIT, DTU, RVCE, COEP, IIIT-D or BMS?
Among the aforementioned institutes, NSUT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi are tier-1 Engineering colleges while COEP, RVCE, and BMS are Tier-2 colleges. Here is a general comparison between the two groups of people institutes
First Group
- The first group comprises the best technical colleges in India. These colleges are excellent choices for COE, IT, and ECE.
- These colleges have a good reputation and have strong alumni backing them.
- If you are getting COE, IT, or ECE in these colleges don’t even think of joining the colleges in the second group.
Second group
- The colleges in this group can be given preference if you fail to make it to the colleges in the first group.
- If you are getting branches like CS, IT, and ECE, choose the colleges in the following order COEP >> RVCE > BMS
- COEP is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India and was ranked 101 out of 200 in India in 2022 by NIRF. It has an excellent placement record and might even become a tier-1 college in the future.
- RVCE and BMS are decent colleges and can be placed above colleges such as Manipal and SRM.
- Another great option is IIIT Bangalore, the third-best IIIT, which is well-known for its CSE course
Hope the comparison was clear and will help you in making your decision.
How is DTU for outside Delhi students, and is there any north-south feeling at a prestigious university like DTU or NSUT? I hope there won't be any such feeling.
DTU is a great college not only for Delhiites but students of North India as a whole. DTU has a diverse student crowd and welcomes students from all states, NRI students, and students from all over Asia and Africa. It’s hard to get any North-South feeling here especially when there is such great harmony between juniors and seniors. The professors also try their best to give individual attention to each student and are quite approachable. There is no such language barrier also as most professors are bilingual and try to deliver lectures in both Hindi and English.
DTU is a place where you will make friends irrespective of their cultural backgrounds. It’s the common interest and passions that bring the huge crown together.
If anything, I feel Outside Delhi students have the advantage of becoming a hosteller which in itself is a unique experience. They will be missing out on all the fun such as visiting the sports complex late at night, roaming around the campus late at night, and fully participating in organizing the fest.
Which is better, the NIT Calicut or the NSIT\DTU?
My friend also got to choose among NIT Calicut, NSIT (NSUT) and DTU last year. He decided to go for NSUT. NSUT has the best placement record out of the three, lagging behind only the top IITs (IIT Delhi, Bombay, Kanpur, Madras, Kharagpur) and BITS Pilani. NSUT is located in the national capital which adds to its list of advantages.
Here is a detailed 2022 placement record for B.Tech at NSUT-
|
Particulars |
B.Tech 2022 Placements |
|
Number of graduating students |
896 |
|
Number of students placed |
826 |
|
Median package |
INR 16 LPA |
However, do consider the branch that you will be getting at each. CSE is the most preferred branch among Engineering students and recruiters at present.
Thus, based on your personal preferences and the branch offered at each, choose between NIT Calicut, NSUT and DTU. However, personally, I would recommend NSUT if you get a good branch in it.
How do NSIT and DTU campus compare?
DTU has a better campus than NSIT in terms of infrastructure and facilities. DTU campus is well-maintained and even the unused areas are treated as parks and are great spots for taking a break. NSIT has a lot of unused land that is left untamed and resembles a jungle bringing down the overall appearance of the campus. NSIT also is home to insects and snakes which makes the campus environment unsafe.
DTU has a huge auditorium that can house 400+ people while NSIT auditorium is pretty small. DTU has a massive OAT(Open-air theatre) and also a mini-OAT. The classrooms in DTU are designed in an elevated style and most classrooms are fully air-conditioned. DTU canteen is bigger than NSIT's although both colleges have Amul shops. NSIT has poor sports facilities.DTU is home to a huge batch and thus has huge academic blocks although the accommodation facilities are highly lacking.
Overall DTU campus is more appealing and well-maintained than the NSIT campus and also enjoys better connectivity.
What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NSIT?
As a senior student at NSIT Delhi, here are my tips for freshers-
- Maintain a decent attendance, at least fulfill the minimum requirement.
- DO NOT bring chits or electronic calculators to the exam hall. During every exam, there is a visit by the Examination Authorities. If you are caught with any kind of cheating material, you will receive a backlog. You can’t reason with them after being caught.
- Do work in NSUT Delhi fests at least once. The seniors come around asking for volunteers. This is a good opportunity to get acquainted with your seniors and peers.
- Make good connections with your seniors. They will help you with everything, like -Which companies visit the campus for placements, How much percentage to maintain, Which teacher to go to after seeking help, etc.
- Some teachers are known for marking papers randomly, regardless of what you write.
- For a tech job in the IT industry, choose between Development and Competitive coding and get into one of these with seriousness during your second or third year. But if you don’t want expertise in either and simply wish for a job, maintain a good percentage and study algorithms from GFG or wherever you deem fit.
- Join college societies at NSUT Delhi to connect with your seniors.
- For good food options, go to Dwarka Sector-12 Food Court. You can also go to the in-house Mccain and JC.
- Maintain a good percentage. 75%+ will allow you to sit for all the companies during campus placements.
- Do take the hostel even if you are a local student. This will help you during the exam season.
Other than this, I would suggest you make the most out of your time at NSUT Delhi as this is an amazing place.
Which should should I choose to pursue computer science: DTU, NSIT, IIIT Delhi, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Allahbad, and NITs except Trichy, Warangal, or Suratkal?
We need to consider a number of factors before choosing one college from DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi, IIT Bangalore, IIIT Allahabad, and NITs.
- Quality of education: In terms of academics, IIIT Delhi serves the best. The teachers are genuinely interested in teaching and encouraging students to research work. In DTU and NSUT students are expected to cope with the curriculum on their own.
- Campus life: DTU offers the best resources and campus life to its students followed by NSUT and IIIT Delhi
- Peer group: You will find the best peer group that is passionate about CS at IIIT Delhi and NSUT.
- Placements: This aspect is quite arguable because there is the general scenario as well as the statistics to consider. Generally, DTU fares better than NSUT and IIIT Delhi but if you look at the statistics, IIIT Delhi is the best among these colleges followed by NSUT and DTU.
- Brand Name and Alumni: In this aspect, DTU is the clear winner.
- Research Culture : IIIT Delhi has more faculty that are inclined towards research. The overall ambiance is conducive to cutting-edge research and students have to do research as a part of the curriculum. IIIT Delhi is followed by NSUT and DTU.
- Higher Studies: IIIT Delhi has a CGPA system while NSUT and DTU have a percentage system. A CGPA of 8.75-9 is considered pretty good while even a percentage of 79% is not. So IIIT Delhi students face a certain advantage during shortlisting. Additionally, their research work and skills add to their overall profile and increase their chances of admission to top universities.
Overall, the best option for you is IIIT Delhi considering the above aspects.
Did you encounter any good teachers in NSIT and if yes, what did you like about them?
I am an alumnus of the ICE department at NSUT Delhi. These teachers taught me back then and I feel blessed to have studied under them-
- Dr. B.P. Singh - Electrical Machines. He was an approachable teacher and a very grounded person in spite of his achievements in academia. He was genuinely interested in teaching.
- Dr. J.R.P. Gupta - Instrumentation. He was a kind and approachable teacher. He possessed a lot of knowledge and genuinely cared for his students.
- Dr. S.K. Jha - Manufacturing Process. His subject was quite boring but sir made every effort while teaching it.
- Sh. K.P.S. Rana - Instrumentation. Sir was very jovial while teaching, but as serious about research work and projects. He had a great personality and taught in an interesting manner.
- Sh. Sanjay Gupta- Mechanics. Sir had a cool personality and taught well.
- Sh. Anand Gupta- Computer Graphics. Sir took his labs and classes quite seriously. He taught really well and expected his students to use their thinking abilities in the lab.
- Dr. Tarun Kr. Rawat - Linear Integrated Circuits. Sir took a good 20-30 minutes to explain the entire experiment to his students without assuming that they already knew everything about the same.
- Ms. Tanushree Choudhary- English. Ma’am made every effort to improve the student's language skills.
- Dr. Vijay Gupta- Mathematics. He was a kind person and a good teacher.
I don’t know how well they are doing, and if they are still teaching at NSUT Delhi. However, I have learned a lot from these teachers and feel highly indebted to them for having taught me during my years at NSUT Delhi.
